I think DoH itself is a good thing. What seems fishy though is hardcoding Cloudflare as the default DoH service.

A couple of observations: 1. To the outside world, a LARPer might be indistinguishable from someone that actually needs perfect opsec. Maybe that LARPer in the coffee shop is Ross Ulbricht. 2. If one day you actually need real encryption

I had a mastodon.social account but deleted it after the admin power tripped and started to ban instances he didn't like.

Because physicality is what defines if people are free or not, and freedom is the only moral principle that a reasonable, moral society can be based upon. If you forsake freedom, you might as well forget about morality altogether. Regulatin

I like to think that I have "hardware acceleration" for typing on QWERTY keyboards because I am so used to it that I do it unconsciously. But when I smoke weed, I have to actively think about the position of keys in the keyboard i

+1 to David's channel. You don't even need to know theory to enjoy his videos. My music knowledge is limited to building major and minor triads (maybe adding a seventh here and there) and I still enjoy his videos.

Because they impose a middleman between the application developer and the user. I don't want a middleman, I want to get my programs from the developer, and store them using the tools I know (regular files on a filesystem). Are package

I'll go one step further: The whole "centralized, trusted repository that has all your apps" system is wrong at a fundamental level. The way shared libraries are used in Linux is built upon the assumption that package manager
